GameImage (FlatImage) support #3535

Description

@LukeShortCloud

FlatImage is supposed to (1) provide isolation of Flatpaks but (2) the portability of AppImages. The best of both worlds. GameImage adds deeper integration on-top of FlatImage for bundling games specifically.

@ptitSeb already helped fix a syscall issue (the symlink syscall is not available on modern Arm devices). Thank you again!

The issue is now something related to this fim_boot process that spawns off the main FlatImage thread.

[BOX64] Looking for /tmp/fim/app/817782c_20250106042423/instance/fohPJN/fim_boot
[BOX64] Rename process to "fim_boot"
[BOX64] Warning, box64 is not really compatible with staticaly linked binaries. Expect crash!

The easiest way to reproduce is to download the latest gameimage.flatimage from the GitHub Releases page for GameImage.

wget https://github.com/gameimage/gameimage/releases/download/v1.6.1/gameimage.flatimage
chmod +x gameimage.flatimage
./gameimage.flatimage
